A Montreal-area school board sent parents of children attending a North Shore high school a document containing parents’ sensitive information, CityNews has learned.
An email was sent by the Sir Wilfrid Laurier School Board to parents of Rosemere High School on Thursday at 3:27 p.m.
The email, with the subject line “ROSEMERE HIGH SCHOOL- Back to School 2026-27,” had an attached Excel spreadsheet containing parents’ names, birth dates, social insurance numbers, phone numbers, email addresses, country of birth, emergency telephone numbers and contacts.
The school board sent a text message warning parents not to open the email at 4:08 p.m., followed by an attempt to recall the email three minutes after that.
“Do not open and immediately DELETE the email received today,” the school board wrote.
CityNews has reached out to the Sir Wilfrid Laurier School Board for comment.
